.Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.DryCooler

Information

Model for the thermal performance of the dry cooling tower.

The air mass flow rate is computed as

ṁ_air = y ṁ_air,nominal

This air flow rate is supplied to both the heat transfer coefficient block Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.BaseClasses.HADryCoil (instance hA) and to Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.BaseClasses.DryCoolerUA (instance dryCoolerUA), which computes the overall thermal conductance UA, the effectiveness ε, and the heat flow rate Q̇.

For the full documentation, see Buildings.Fluid.HeatExchangers.CoolingTowers.DryCooler.
